As the object of the Conference is to arouse a greater interest in the subject of the local 
history of this section, we invite the hearty co-operation of all who are attracted by this pur- 
pose, whether residents of the Ohio Valley or not. While an individual character has been 
imparted to the various meetings, as is shown by the preliminary program, they will be of a 
sufficiently popular character to entertain all, and we will welcome a general attendance at 
each session. The Committees in charge will appreciate an early response from those who 
expect to be present, especially from persons outside Cincinnati. Kindly address all com- 
munications to the Secretary of the General Committee, Frank Parker Goodwin, 3435 
Observatory Place, Cincinnati, Ohio.
